In the manuscript text, references are indicated by the author’s name in the original language in parentheses. Then, through comma, the year of publication is indicated, through сomma – the page number (if any). Suppose it is necessary to refer to several sources at a time. In this case, they should appear with a semicolon between them in alphabetical order by the first letter of the author’s last name of each source. For example, researchers have studied a specific problem (Lang, 2009; Smith; 2007; Zeta, 2008).

  • research sources (media texts, talk shows, online media, blogs, tweets, podcasts, audio or video stories, YouTube channels, advertising messages, headlines, language means, etc.), that is, those sources that their author researches in his article. References to research sources must be provided in the text as footnotes. Do not include such sources in the list of references.

  1. References – the same list of literature, but in the Roman alphabet. For rules of translation and transliteration of Cyrillic sources, see e.g. here https://economics.net.ua/files/autors/References.pdf.
